A trip with good eats!! :P

We took a little trip to UT. We lived there for a total of 9 years before moving to Colorado. We decided since we weren't in the Steamboat Springs soccer tournament this year, we would head out of town anyway and to UT it was. Turns out my best friend, Trish, was heading there too the same weekend!! We used to live just down the street from them and became instant friends.

So we spent Friday - Monday in Salt Lake. We priceline'd a hotel and got the Hilton downtown for $64 a night. Normally $160/night. Needless to say I was happy and excited. We were hoping for the Marriott since it has access to the mall, but ended up getting the Hilton.

So Friday's first stop was MORELIA'S. All I can say is, as I am typing this my mouth is watering. Mmmmm...ohhhh sooooo good. Chile Verde Chimichanga... fresh salsa...mmmmm
After Morelia's we went to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House. We thought it would be a good thing for the kids to do... something that they are old enough to remember. They've been in other open houses...but they were little and don't remember it. What a great way to start our trip. The temple was SO pretty and I absolutely loved the chandeliers and etchings in the windows.

Mmmm I wannanother one!! :P

We took a drive up to Logan to see where the kids were born. We drove by our little apartment.. drove up the rode that Glenn would bike to school, to be told by Glennie... "that's not that big of a hill... I can easily do it!!" Drove by the hospital they were born at, had lunch @ Sizzler - believe it or not... we actually miss Sizzler. We were surprised how much Logan has grown. But I guess it was 14 years ago that we left there.

Our first place - we were the bottom left in Logan

After our trip to Logan we met up with Trish and her family at Leatherby's. Lemme tell ya... if you are ever in SLC... Leatherby's is a must eat. Mmmmmm (see I told you my trip was about good eats)

I think it's law to go here if you visit UT

Me & Trish

Traci's Peanut Butter Sundae

Kaitlin was just as excited to see Kylee as I was to see Trish!! Kylee and Kaitlin have been friends since they were 3. So Kylee got to come spend the night with us at our hotel since the next day we were meeting them in Tooele to check out our old houses. We headed out to Tooele the next day, drove by the old houses and went to our hang out spot... "Dairy Delight". This was the ONLY place that sold Diet Coke's with Vanilla...and it was mine and Tricia's spot most mornings to get our vanilla cokes!! We do love their bacon swiss burgers too... so just had to stop in for one of those. Both my Glenn's got the 'Old fashioned" it's 1/2lb and as big as their heads! They made it a contest to see who got done first... Glennie had a head start...but Glenn managed to win. They both finished and were oh, so proud!!

Kylee spending the night... Glennie got the floor!! :)

Mmmm... dairy delight

HOLY BURGER

After Tooele, we headed to Temple Square...did some touring and exploring and then crashed at Olive Garden for some eatin' before heading back to the hotel. We had some leftovers and no place to put them, so the boys took off with our boxes to find a bum and give them a meal.

It was soooo much fun... too hot...wonderful eats...pretty...too hot....fun to see old sights...fun to see old friends... too hot...oh ya - did I mention how hot it was?? 100-105 blech.

As we drove home and came in the Denver area - it just felt good to be back home.
